What is this trial about?

A majority of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on in-center hemodialysis (HD) require several hours to recover from fatigue after an HD session. Evidence for practical interventions to improve this recovery time from conventional in-center HD is lacking. This study investigates the effects of reducing HD blood flow rates on patients' self-reported post-dialysis fatigue.

What are the participation requirements?

Yes
